Summary: Sampling of water, sediment, benthic invertebrates, fish inventories, and fish habitat mapping will be done. Water will be collected for chemical analysis, and limnology measurements taken. Sediment will be collected for chemical analysis and particle size analysis. Benthic invertebrates will be collected for taxonomic identification. Fish species, presence and relative abundance will be determine...

Summary: The extensive wetland complex in Wood Buffalo National Park (WBNP) is composed of a mosaic of shallow ponds that are unique in Canada. They are also the nesting grounds of the last migratory population of Whooping Cranes. Water, organic matter, aquatic plants and small aquatic life forms will be sampled from ponds just outside the nesting area and 0.5 km from the highway. The research team will ...

Principal Investigator: Pattenden, Rick
Licensed Year(s): 1996
Summary: The field program will be conducted during three sampling periods (spring, summer and fall). Lakes and streams in the immediate vicinity of the potential mine site will be examined. Sampling techniques will include angling, snorkeling, backpack electrofishing, beach seining, minnow traps and gill netting for fish. Plankton nets and eckman dredges will be used to collect plankton and benthic mac...

Summary: The researchers will collect samples of sediments from the bottom of Great Slave Lake at sites near Fort Resolution and Lutsel K'e. This data will allow a better understanding of how fast sediments are deposited on the lake bottom in various regions. Researchers will also collect invertebrates and fish samples as part of an overall study of contaminants in the lake's ecosystem....
